Document Feeder

Document Feeder
The Reversing Automatic Document Feeder (RADF), feeds originals to the Exposure Glass for copying and if Duplex Copying is selected, it turns the original over for copying the other side of the original. Then, it exits the original onto the Document Tray.

Precautions when using Document Feeders

1. Avoid using:
You can place up to 50 originals in the Document Feeder for automatic feeding of
originals to the Exposure Glass for copying.
You may also select SADF which allows you to feed one original at a time into the
Document Feeder without having to press the Start key each time.
Badly wrinkled or folded originals.
Clipped or stapled originals.
Carbon paper.
Torn originals.
Taped originals.
Damp originals.
1. Folded or curled originals should be smoothed out before inserting into the Document Feeder.
2. Feeding a stack of different width originals through the Document Feeder is not recommended.
Feed them through one at a time.
You can, however, feed a stack of different length originals through the
Document Feeder.
3. If the surface of any two originals are so rough that they cannot be moved when pinched between two fingertips, the friction between the originals may obstruct paper separation even when the paper weight is within specifications.
2. Avoid covering the two sensors on the doc­ument feeder tray. These sensors detect the original size and could cause the orignal size to not be properly detected.

RADF - Feeding Stack of Originals

RADF allows you to stack feed up to 50 originals into the Document Feeder by pressing the Start key one time. If you are feeding single sheets into the Document Feeder, switch the copy mode to SADF and you will not have to press the Start key for each original. See SADF­Feeding One Original at a Time, below.
When using the RADF, place your originals

1. 1 Sided 2 Pages to Combine 1 Side: Copies two 1-sided originals to one side of a sheet.
2. 1 Sided 4 Pages to Combine 1 Side: Copies four 1-sided originals together to one side of a sheet.

Direction of Originals and Layout of Combined Images

Portrait Originals
The number of originals copied (combined) can be 2 or 4.
In this mode, the machine selects the reproduction ratio automatically. This reproduction
ratio depends on the copy paper sizes and the number of originals.
You can change the reproduction ratio from 50–200%.
When you set the originals in the document feeder and the machine is installed the
extension memory, you can change the reproduction ratio from 25–400%
If the calculated ratio is under the minimum ratio, it is corrected within the range of the
ratio automatically. However, with some ratios, parts of the image might not be copied or blank margins appear on copies.
Even if the direction of originals is different from that of the copy paper, the machine
will automatically rotate the image by 90 to make copies properly. (When the Auto Reduce/Enlarge function is selected.
You can make copies even if the number of originals is less than the number
required in the selected mode.
When the number of originals placed is less than the number specified for
combining, the last page(s) will be copied blank as shown in the illustration.

Copier Terms

% (percentage) The ratio of the original image size to the copied image size. If the copy
image is larger than the original, the % number is larger. A copied image that is twice the size of the original is said to be 200%. If the copy image is smaller than the original, the % number is lower. A copied image that is half the size of the original is said to be 50%.
10-key pad The portion of the Control Panel with numerical keys. These keys are
used primarily to input the desired number of copies and are also used to input numerical data into the copier during programming.
Book Originals Any bound original that cannot be fed through the Feeder. Because the
pages cannot be separated, they must be copied manually from the Exposure Glass. The Book Original features can be used to make the book copying process more efficient.
Bypass Feed Tray A Tray used to feed single sheets of special or transparent stock into the
copier to be copied. Because sheets from this tray feed straight through the copier paper path, the Tray is especially useful for feeding heavy stock. See also: Stack Feed Bypass Tray.
Casual Operator An operator that uses the copier to make copies but does not have Key
Operator responsibilities such as adding Toner or calling for service.
Charge Corona A device located near the Drum that activates the light sensitivity of the
Drum and prepares it to be exposed and imaged.
Cleaning Unit An assembly that cleans any residual image toner from the Drum in
preparation for the next image.
CLEAR/STOP Key The Key used to stop a copy job while it is still running. It may also be
used to clear program functions from a previous job and return to the default settings.
Control Panel The surface at the front of the copier containing Keys used to control the
operation of the copier. It usually also contains the display that shows the status of the copier or the job in progress.
Copies The imaged paper output from a copier. It might be a direct reproduction
of the input document or it can contain any number of changes as programmed into the copier such as Enlargement/Reduction, Trim/Mask, etc.
Copies in Progress This display or part of a display shows how many copies of the total have
been made.
Copies Selected This display is the same as Copy Quantity, in that it shows the number of
copies requested.
G-1
Page 88
Copy Paper See: paper
Copy Quantity This display or part of a Touch Screen shows the requested number of
copies.
Copy Size Keys Keys used to input the desired size of the copy.
Darker Copies This term refers to the amount of toner placed on the copy through the
imaging process. The amount of toner is controlled by the “darkness” of the original and the amount of light used during the exposure process; more light means less toner or image density.
Developer Material This is a supply used in the copier. It usually consists of two parts; a
carrier material and the toner. The developer material is only used by a technician when installing a new unit or when cleaning a Developer Unit.
Developer Unit An assembly located near the drum inside the copier that delivers the
toner to the drum. It allow the correct amount of toner to be placed on the drum for each image.
Document Feed Tray The Tray where an original document is placed to feed into an ADF for
automatic feeding and copying.
Document Guide These Guides are located in the Document Feed Tray. When correctly
positioned against the sides of an original document, they help to position the pages of the document.
Document Receiving Tray
A Tray used to accumulate the pages of an original document that have completed the copying process.
Document Scale Two scales located to the front and left of the Exposure Glass intended to
help locate original documents placed on the Glass for manual copying and to identify a part of an original during the Editing process.
Documents The set of pages either placed on the Exposure Glass or in the ADF to be
copied.
Drum Assembly The unit located inside the copier that receives the image during the
exposure and imaging process and transfers this image to the copy paper. It is light sensitive and should be protected from bright lights.
Duplexed Copies Copies that have been imaged on both sides of the sheet.
Energy Saver Key A Key used to place the copier into, or bring it out of an Energy Saver
Mode. In the Energy Saver Mode, the amount of energy consumed by the copier is reduced.
Energy Star A voluntary program introduced by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) intended to encourage the use of energy-
G-2
Page 89
efficient technologies in the workplace. Requirements to qualify for certification vary based on the speed of a Copier. For specifics on your Copier, check the Specifications section of this Guide.
Exit Tray A tray attached to the output end of the copier to collect copies. This tray
is usually removed when a Sorter or Finisher is installed. In this case, the top tray of the Sorter or Finisher serves as the Exit Tray.
Exposure Glass The glass surface located under the Document Cover or Document
Feeder. The original is placed here to make a copy. If an RADF is present, it transports the original to this location. Once here, the original is exposed by the Exposure Lamp located directly below the glass.
Exposure Lamp The light source located directly below the Exposure Glass. It is the light
from this lamp that exposes the original, reflects off the original, travels through the optics and exposes the Drum.
Exposure Pad A Pad located on the bottom side of a Document Cover used to hold an
original in place on the Exposure Glass during the exposure process.
Factory Default A setting in the copier that is set at the factory. You can change some of
these settings. Others can be changed by a Service Technician. See also Initial Setting.
Front Cover The Cover located at the front of the copier designed to allow access to
the interior of the copier. This allows the operator to add supplies, remove paper misfeeds, or perform other maintenance as prescribed by the Operator Guide.
Fused Toner The image, usually black, that adheres to the surface of the copy paper.
This Toner is “Fused” to the surface of the paper using pressure and heat.
Fuser Assembly The unit located inside the exit area of the copier that provides heat and
pressure to attach the toner to the paper surface.
Fuser Cleaning Pad In certain copiers, it is necessary to clean toner residue and paper dust
from the Fuser Rollers. This provides extended life of the Rollers and cleaner copies. At certain intervals, this pad must be replaced.
Graphic Display A Display that shows icons related to service or supply related error
condition. In some copiers, these icons may be incorporated into a graphic representation of the copier to show the approximate position of an error.
Gray Scale A term referring to the shades of gray between the black and the white
areas on an original or copy. Normal copies reduce the shades of gray to produce very dense blacks and clean whites. During the photo copy modes, the copier is set to reproduce the shades of gray more faithfully, but usually at the expense of the black density.
Initial Settings Those settings displayed by a copier when it comes to the READY
G-3
Page 90
condition. These settings may be either the Factory Default settings, or Factory Default settings that have been modified permanently by either you or your Service Technician to better fit your application.
Interrupt Key The Key used to interrupt a long copy job in process in order to run a
single copy. Interrupt copies are limited to one, and the interrupt original must be copied from the Exposure Glass.
Key Operator The main operator responsible for the copier. This individual performs all
operator prescribed maintenance and is the main contact in the event of a service call.
Lighter Copies This term refers to the amount of toner placed on the copy through the
imaging process. The amount of toner is controlled by the “darkness” of the original and the amount of light used during the exposure process; more light means less toner or image.
Message Display This display or part of a Touch Screen shows messages related to the
status of the copier, Help messages and program information.
On/Stand by Switch A switch located on the exterior of the copier used to control the power to
the copier.
Original Cover On copiers not equipped with a Document Feeder, a Cover protects the
Exposure Glass and prevents stray light from entering the copier during the copy process. Unless copying a 3-dimensional object, the cover should be down.
Original Direction Indicator
This icon instructs the operator which direction to place the document in the Document Feeder or on the Exposure Glass. This is particularly helpful when different paper sizes are available and when certain features are used such as; when reducing a legal sheet to letter-size paper, the icon would instruct you to feed the original lengthwise.
Paper Tray A paper carrier designed as part of the base of the copier. It is used to
store and feed a stack of paper of one size. Some are designed to be adjusted but can only accommodate one size at a time.
paper weight Throughout the Operator Guide there are references to 20 lb. or 24 lb.
paper. This refers to a standard measuring technique. A certain number of sheets cut to a particular size weighs 20 or 24 pounds. The weight specification usually correlates with the thickness of the paper. It also generally implies stiffness with the lighter papers being more limber and the heavier papers being stiffer. Copiers are designed to feed certain weight papers through the Drawers or Cassettes. Heavier stock, such as cover stock, can be fed through the Bypass Feed Tray.
Power Cord The cord used to connect the copier to the power receptacle. The plug
design is specified depending on the amount of power the copier requires. Make sure the receptacle is the correct one for your copier.
G-4
Page 91
READY Indicator This is an indicator that shows when the copier has warmed up and is
ready to make copies. It appears in several forms; a light, an icon, and the message itself.
Release Lever The lever located inside the Front Cover used to release the Upper Unit
for access to the paper path.
Separation Corona One of the Coronas inside the copier. It is usually located near the Drum
and separates the paper from the Drum. Because it attracts the toner, and since it is located below the paper, it has a tendency to get dirty. This can require the Key Operator to either clean the coronas or call for service.
Sheet Feed Bypass A tray that opens from the side of the machine, usually just above the
Primary Paper Tray or LCC. It is designed to feed a single sheet at a time. This tray can be used to feed paper or transparency stock that would normally not be placed in the Feed Drawers. Since it bypasses the normal paper feeding mechanism and feeds straight through the paper path, heavier stocks (like cover stock) feed better.
Sorter An accessory attached to the output of a copier designed to perform a
sorting function. The sort function allows you to make multiple copy sets of an original in such a way that the pagination matches the original document.
Stack Feed Bypass Feed Tray
A tray that opens from the side of the machine, usually just above the LCC or Primary Paper Tray, and is designed to feed a stack of paper. This tray can be used to feed paper or transparency stock that would normally not be placed in the Feed Drawers. Since it bypasses the normal paper feeding mechanism and feeds straight through the paper path, heavier stocks (like cover stock) feed better.
Stack Key This key is used to program the Stack functions. This is available only if a
Sorter or Finisher is present. In the stack mode, multiples of a single page of a document are placed in separate Sorter Trays or are offset in the Finisher Tray.
Start Key This Key is used to start the copying process once all selections have been
made. On a Lanier copier, it is always green in color.
Ton er The black powder that is used to form the image on copy paper. In a color
copier, it would be colored. PLEASE NOTE: Toners are designed to operate specifically in a copier and differ greatly on the copier requirements. Toner from other copiers should never be mixed. At best, the image would be too light or too dark. At worst, it can damage your copier and require a service call to have the toner cleaned out and replaced with the correct toner.
Toner Container A container designed to simplify the reloading of toner in your copier.
G-5
Page 92
Make sure the toner you add is correct for your copier before loading. See the NOTE above.
Transparencies A clear plastic stock used to make an overhead transparency. Because
they are clear, they don’t feed from paper Drawers or Cassettes. However, many Bypass Feed Trays are designed to handle transparency stock. Place your transparency stock in the Bypass Feed Tray and use a normal copy procedure.
Transport Belt The rubber surface on the under side of an ADF. It grips an original and
moves it across the Exposure Glass and returns it to the Document Exit Area of the Document Feeder. To keep it operating correctly and to prevent the buildup of dirt which can cause dirty copies, it must be cleaned periodically.
User Codes An option, usually built into a copier that, when activated by a
Technician, requires the operator to enter a User Code to make copies. The copier can contain many accounts thereby allowing the Key Operator to track copies made by individuals or departments.
Zoom Keys The Zoom Keys are actually several keys that control the Enlargement or
Reduction of the image on the copy. In most cases, there is a 100% (actual size) key, a key representing the highest Enlargement ratio, and a key representing the lowest Reduction ratio. Pressing these last two keys steps the copier optics in 1% increments. Pressing the 100% key returns the copier to the actual size mode.
